Answer:

So the triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its sides.

In this case we know that the perimeter is 63

The lengths of its sides depend on x.

AB = 6x\\AC = 4x + 6\\BC = 8x + 3

So:

6x + 4x + 6 + 8x + 3 = 63

Now we solve for the variable x.

6x + 4x + 6 + 8x + 3 = 63

18x + 9 = 63

18x = 54

x=\frac{54}{18}\\\\x=3

Therefore:

AB = 6(3)=18\\AC = 4(3)+6=18\\BC = 8(3) + 3=27

The triangle has two sides of equal length. The triangles that have two equal sides are the isosceles triangles.

So the triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle

PLEASE HELP!!! Justin is running a race. He has completed 28 km, which happens to be 70% of the total race. How long is
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
Answer is 40km
Explanation:
So in this question we can use a proportion
Since
28km is 70% we can write it equal to 70%
28=70

and since 100% is unknown we can write it equal to x
100=x

Then we put it in proportion form

28/x=70/100


Then cross multiply and divide

28(100)/70=x

Which would equal 40

What is the value of x in the diagram?
Ksenya-84 [330]
The red arrows mean the lines are parallel. Since all angles are equal, the larger triangle is similar to the smaller one. Then corresponding sides have the same ratio
(4x -2)/9 = (3x+2)/12
x(4/9 -3/12) = (2/12) +(2/9)
x = (7/18)/(7/36) = 2 . . . . . . . . . corresponding to the 3rd selection
